About Dean
- I grew up in Leander, Texas, and was raised by my mom and my grandfather.
- My grandfather was an engineer and really encouraged me to do well in school and explore STEM—because of his influence, I started the STEM program at my high school.
- After high school, I earned my associate degree from Austin Community College’s advanced manufacturing program.
- I started my career with Samsung in their internship program, which is a 10-week course where I was mentored by someone who runs a hardware lab at Samsung Austin Semiconductor.
- That apprenticeship led to a technician position with Samsung, which I’m currently doing now.
- I’ll be going back to Austin Community College in the fall for the new bachelor’s degree program to study supply chain automation in an industrial setting.
